Depends on how much you wanna spend and of course if you like the way the cocker shoots!

Eclipse Blade Cocker - £734
(comes with inline Ergo Reg which is perfectly fine, but no barrel)
Hosing - no idea £10?
Flatline 4500psi w/1.1 round bottom tank - £313
slide rail - £8.50
drop forward (optional) - £15?

All exclude VAT and are mostly on http://www.planeteclipse.com

thats probably it

dude,

we have a few eclispe imy and a few imp cockers on our team i personaly have a cocker as well as (KRIS) because there best matched to our style (however little J and Mike) both have eclipse imy because thats matched to there style its almost like developing relationship with your marker... and mike and little j have done just that that both have deffinatly got the right marker for the way they play

but with the addition of the new E-blade from planet you will find either probably suites you...

have a go as mike says its the best advice anybody can give you and that is to try

no point in asking people they will tell you anything really because they have one themselves
good luck dude

When do i get a star?
imo

Well, i was in the same prediciment (spelling?) I was looking at either a Shocker or an impulse but then i got a chance to shoot them and i didn't like the electric triggers, i never have, they just don't feel right and i've shot a few electric guns. (I'm sure alot of you will disagree and say electric our able to shoot faster, which they can, but i just dont like them, its a personal preference) Anyways, I decided to get an Autococker (2002 Stock Red w/ Vertical Feed) the first time i used it was at wasaga beach in Ontario for the TimeGate2 scenario and it was amazing, i had absolutely no problems the entire day, even running off co2. I was able to shoot 5-8 balls per second easily with no chops (this was with a regular hopper, no agitation or anything. except me shaking it when the balls jammed in the neck.) Also, i borrowed a friends freak barrel and the accuracy was just amazing.

On the negetive, i did have some pretty erratic velocities early in the day(+/- 40fps over 5 shots), but they tightened up after dinner, this may just have been from the co2.

Niether markers will require any upgrading other then a decent loader to keep up, on the cocker I'd say a 12v revvy should be fine on the Impy I'd go for a HALO B, both are damn fine markers but as has been said try both and see what you like, try and ger a go of a blade framed cocker as they are really nice, Cocker you could always upgrade to an Eblade (mmmmm electro cocker) :D :D :D

ive had a cocker for years, it always been amongst the best markers and hasnt really changed that much, people just keep developing bits to 'stick on' so your marker is always evolving....however i havnt used an impy. your best bet is to ask planet to let you have a good look at both or ask people if you can put a few balls thu thier guns....i know im biast toward cockers but heres one thing to think about....you can run c02 and upgrade later (i still use c02) and when you have some spare cash the e-blade will make the cocker as fast as ANY of the current electro marker....trust me they are fine! im saving as we speak!

if you go for a cocker remember the golden rule tho....once you have the gun setup DONT for any reason take the thing appart, you may think you know what your doing but everytime you fiddle you will land up looking silly as you ask someone else to fix it! heheh mine goes into planet at least twice a year!
